Is it too much to ask for the national front runner to seriously address the critiques made of her record or am I being asked to vote for her because she can manage a sassy ignore and redirect response over and over and over and over and over again?

Jesus.

Now we have this…I don’t know what to call it…while Senator Clinton was visiting Wellesley.

I'll admit, I really want to vote for Hillary. I want to see a woman president, I want to see more women in power in our government. I want to stand up in front of my daughter, and say I voted for a woman. Women can be president. But I want Hillary to make me want to vote for HER, not just her femaleness.

I'm with J. I want to vote for a woman president. We need a woman president, but Hillary is not convincing me that she is proper material. I also want to vote for a black person. We need a black president in thos country to once and for all show the cracker element of America that their shit stinks.After 8 yrs of corpo-fascism we have some very serious domestic problems that need to be addressed and fixed. I HAVE to look for the candidate who, along with an agressive policy to get us out of international affairs we have no business being in, also has an agressive policy for fixing the domestic problems. So far, the shiney spiffy white guy wins. The best I can hope for at this point is an Edwards/Obama ticket, or Clinton and Obama open up and tell us how they're going to go about changing the United States of America.

To be fair, she was speaking at the commencement of her alma mater, and this "women's college graduates kick ass in the Real World" is boilerplate at such colleges. Yes, it sounds very weird to outsiders. But it is true that the Seven Sisters (and I daresay Spelman) produce a disproportionate number of women who succeed in previously male dominated arenas. I for one am proud of my alma mater, Mt. Holyoke Coll., which for a while produced more women going on to sciences and maths Ph.D.s than any other undergraduate entity (including subunit of university) regardless of size. It is also true that these women's schools tend to foster a Rosie-the-Riveter attitude of We Can Do It!
